Wow you really made that place feel like a home!! Now that you have a space that FEELS like your own, hopefully your time settling into Chengdu feels better!💕
If making it work was a person!!! That metal piece for the shower is genius. I never knew something like that existed. And, mama is right. The green kitchen cabinets add character. I love bright colors so it's cute to me.
China is the land of products that you never knew existed! I was on the shopping apps for hours trying to get my algorithm right to show me something that wasn't a flimsy shower curtain and wasn't something that I needed to hire someone to install--this was the PERFECT thing!
@AleeseLightyear I loved watching your journey through apt hunting. Remember that shades of green and red are colors of good luck and prosperity in China. Enjoy and embrace!😉 I'm hoping to return and stay in China for a month to visit, sightsee and learn everything I can about the culture. I want to do the same in Italy and Nigeria!
I used to live in Chengdu as a TEFL teacher. It was the happiest time of my life! I love watching your videos Aleese, it brings back so many great memories :)
You pulling a whole water machine out of box is hilarious. Taobao is amazing and loved that you showed items and the prices! I immediately grabbed my phone and started photo buying ...lol ...Lime green is not so bad. Could have been orange . You made it home and that is all that matters. Rock on Ms. A🧡🧡🧡
Landed to your channel like 2 hours ago, and can't stop watching all your videos! You are so lovely and just "my vibe" person! Hope to move to China pretty soon 🎉
Love how you set everything up. It's pleasant and practical. I was just curious...do you reattach each of the polaroids everytime you move? Have you considered saving the originals and making a reproducing them onto something else like canvas or plastic? For the record I always look forward to your videos. I travel vicariously through your channel.
Beijing apartment will always be in our hearts. Also, rip green couch. Gone but not forgotten. I’m glad your huge move is finally over. I hope you enjoy your time in this new city and at your new school.
The final result is very impressive! It really does feel like an Aleese home (the heated rug especially 😊) Wish you lots of good times at this apartment!
I love what you did with the bathroom forsure. You seem to adapt well in whatever space youre in, Im glad youre all finally moved in ! We love and support you, Dont forget how resilient you are and that we can all see it. Thank you for all that you do. 💗
You've done a great job of getting your apartment in order! I own my home in Tempe, Arizona and I still don't know how to fix it up. I am glad that you are feeling better about being there and away from your family. When I was 17 I moved from Arizona to New York to go to college in upstate New York, I remember my first Thanksgiving and Christmas there all I wanted to do was cry. The first visit home I did not want to go back, but I did, and cried my entire flight back to Albany, even the layover at Chicago O'Hare. I looked like I was 13 or 14 and people kept trying to hug me. I am an Old lady now and survived it all, so the only advice I can give you is to keep your chin up and plow ahead.
New to your Channel....love it. Congratulations on the new place. I get the stress of the last few days. Last big move, we decided to move to a new city....packed up a u-haul, drove to the city, no apartment lined up. drove around to look at a few places, by the end of the day we were moved into a cute new place, new city we had never been to. I love that feeling. We haven't done it in years. I like where we are but itching to move somewhere new. Sadly, rents across Canada have gone insane. We are in a huge rent-controlled place that's cheaper than you can rent a room now, so no way we are moving. Working on re-doing each room now so it at least feels new.
Hi Aleese, letting you know you have great taste and keen eyes to decorate and transform a space to a real livable home. I like that painting over the couch. Take care now.
Hi, Aleese! I love watching your videos. I start my TEFL certification June 10th and am planning on starting my life all over in China. I’ve lost a lot here in the states and have no ties so I thought…why not? I’m scared but you keeping it so real and being so brave boosts my confidence. Thank you so much
starting your life over in a new place is not easy ! remember why you started . i went to chengdu for a summer in college and it felt like a dream . looking forward to your journey 🙏
I love it Aleese 🥹🫶🏾 I'm moving soon and was feeling super anxious about it. I'm moving the furthest from my home town than I've ever lived and watching you walk through your fear is inspiring and helping me to feel less anxious about it. Feeling much more optimistic about this move. Congratulations on your new place Aleese 🥳👏🏾 You're living out your dreams and I love all of the black girl magic you share with us. Sending you so much love ♥️✨🥂
You really did well with the apartment. I'm most impressed with the shower door. I have been in bathrooms like that even in the UK. So this would be a great idea to keep the shower from soaking the toilet area.
I love your channel you remind me of my daughter she lived in Spain and wants to move to Italy. She is a traveler too. I am like your Mama (she has done an excellent job raising you) i love see our people travel. I love the green in your kitchen but I am a gardener ❤ so what do you think about ordering from Temu? Love yor enetgy and your apartment. A lot of military children are like you. I was a military brat. You will look back on these memories and love it. I wish we had youtube back then to be able to capture your friends and experiences to he able to look back on them will be priceless. I have so many friends I never found again as we older people are not on social media like you youngiuns. I hope you are backing up your videos so if this platform goes away you will have them. You brighten my day. I still travel mostly to Israel and Jordan and France but soon I will be expanding to Africa I think. Keep up the good work. Blessings❤
Your Window View is the Best imagine burning some insence while enjoying the sound of rain drops . I really love it and hope you adapt to everything in your new town Alice 😉. P.S. every week I'm waiting for your shining skin recipe 😢
Hahaha I have the same artwork in my house, I do love the artist tho 😅. The green kitchen cabinets. So China 😂 love the home, hope you have a great time in Chengdu ❤
Omg I love what you’ve done with the place! Looks great! Did you just say you had leftovers from cheesecake factory? They have them in China??? What??? Does it even compare to the ones in the States though?
OMG--I should do a video about Cheesecake Factory in China. There is one in Beijing, Shanghai and the Chengdu one just opened a few months ago. And it it is EXACTLY like the ones back in the USA. Unlike McDonalds or KFC, nothing about Cheesecake Factory has been Chinafied lol The prices are also exactly the same--which is very expensive for a meal in China!
What??? There are so many locations in China??? Why can’t they just come down to Australia then?? So unfair 😭😭 yes please! Do a review of the restaurant! That would be cool. The closest store to me would be in China and it’s not like I’m going anytime soon 😞 but a girl could only dream 💭
I was wondering…when you move again do you sell your furniture you added to the landlord or take it with you? I am new here and have started watching at apt hunting. I love your courageous, friendly attitude and I think you are absolutely beautiful! Ty for your entertaining, informative vlogs! Love from Georgia! 👩🏻🦳🇺🇸💜💕
Ah Aleese you are in Chengdu now. I am also in Chengdu for my postgraduate education. Welcome to my school UESTC to enjoy the autumn with me if you have time.
Just remember, you are enough. You radiate love, hope, and endless adventure! I so love this about you and it’s what keeps us all coming back and tuned in!

I'm from Chengdu I'm really excited to see a video about your apartment in my hometown.
another warm chilling video like your updates😊
Very nicely done! I especially love the kitchen and the guest room! I also think the lime green cabinets are cute and give the room some character. ❤
Hi Aleese, letting you know you have great taste and keen eyes to decorate and transform a space to a real livable home. I like that painting over the couch. Take care now.

Just found you.! Love the green in your kitchen. Colour pops! And does stream with the greens in the other area's of your home
You really did well with the apartment. I'm most impressed with the shower door. I have been in bathrooms like that even in the UK. So this would be a great idea to keep the shower from soaking the toilet area.
Look a lot nicer and comfortable after your decoration🎉
Lovely home! (I love the green cabinets too!)
You have given me ideas of organizing in smaller spaces. Thanks.
Yeah finally 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Digging that blinged out coat hanger with all of your bags on it. I need that! Love your nee apt!

Yea that last apartment in Beijing was baller!!
Omg I love what you’ve done with the place! Looks great! Did you just say you had leftovers from cheesecake factory? They have them in China??? What??? Does it even compare to the ones in the States though?

It's so cozy❤
lol every double 11 and 618, my wife would buy tons of stuff and I have to use a trolley to pick them up at least once a day😂
your wife is just like me!!!
First time here! Why are you in China and moving around so much? Really curious and wishing you well.
Just remember, you are enough. You radiate love, hope, and endless adventure! I so love this about you and it’s what keeps us all coming back and tuned in!
45 packages?lol the mail room people were probably wondering if you are starting a business from the apartment 😁😁.
nope, Beijing
Nice #1😊
Thanks 😋
Quite big and I'm guessing it's a 60 sqm condo unit that you feature..right???
Hello from Michigan
You might want to watch Ashley In Africa❤
its quite expensive, we pay 3000rmb for an apartment around the same size, we are in kunming though
God be with you forever
Thanks! God Bless!
You are amazing
Everything but the bathroom is good.😁
Love you boooo
So between Chengdu and Beijing which city is more expensive?
Of course Beijing,much more expensive,room like this in Beijing,will be 1200-1500dollars
Beijing.....you can go back and look at the Beijing apartment hunts and tours.....the prices are double!
You know!
